What should I focus on for Sep/Oct '24?

As I mentioned in the weekly update post, I currently have an interesting pile-up of things to be working on.

The first is continuing the House of Hellish Harlots project. I'm struggling a little with the mini-boss scenarios are they're a little bit bigger than the regular ones, but overall progress on this is pretty good. The current tasks for that are to keep working on writing the mini-boss scenarios, which are Temptacia, a slime girl smother nun, a harem of imps and possibly the Trappess. Also on the immediate todo list is putting out HoHH 1.5 as a proper public demo now I have the art for all of the low-tier harlots.

The second option is more short stories and putting a 7th collection together as an ebook. I did set aside a month last year in the hope of writing the stories I needed, but that petered out and I shifted back to HoHH. The last couple of weeks I've gone back and taken a look at my notes and the restarted some stalled story ideas. There are 4 I need to write, which will be around 20-25K words.

As I could be working on either, and both need to be done at some point, I thought I might throw it open to patrons to see what people would prefer me to work on.

I'm not going to treat this as binding, as my plan is to run with what I most feel like doing when I wake up that day, as it's more productive than trying to force something that's stuck. However, a poll might help be a tiebreaker if I'm 50:50. It will also give me an idea of what people are more interested in seeing, so I feel less guilty about pausing HoHH to get the collection out, or keep holding the collection back while I focus on getting HoHH to the next milestone (depending on how the poll comes out).

This shouldn't be an either or. Both of these things will be done. I might also end up working on the losing thing anyway if trying to push the other gets stuck.

This is just to give me an idea of what people would prefer me to be working on.
